Both sherbet and sorbet consist of fruit juices or purées and sweetener, but sherbets also include dairy. Most sherbet sold in the US often contains 1 to 2% milk fat, but our recipe uses skim milk for a zero gram fat total.

This recipe is inspired by the traditional Cuban dish ropa vieja (Spanish for "old clothes"). Traditionally served with potatoes and chickpeas, you can also try it with rice, quinoa or corn tortillas. Using sweet onions keeps the flavor subtle.
